Where to buy an EKWB waterblock

[patrickjp93]

So a client wants an EK Supremacy Elite block for his 1150 socket, but he doesn't want to pay the taxes or overseas shipping to get it and the Indigo XS TIM which would come bundled with it.

 

Frozencpu.com (my usual source of water cooling purchases) sells only the socket 2011 edition. These blocks fit in all Intel 115x sockets as well as 2011, but the difference is the TIM which is sent. The 2011 edition comes with Indigo Extreme shaped to reflow on the much larger heatspreader of the 2011 chips. The 115x edition comes with Indigo XS designed to reflow on the smaller heat spreader of 115x chips.

 

Does anyone know a U.S.-based supplier who sells EKWB blocks?

facepalm* Again: client does not want to pay the european taxes or overseas shipping. It's an extra $35 he'd rather avoid.

Why does he want to use the stock TIM anyway? What's wrong with something like Arctic MX-4?

There is a list of watercooling retailers in the FAQ sticky. Just check all the retailers.

Indigo Extreme and XS both far outperform arctic MX-4. It's a 6 degree difference.

Have they fixed the issue where indigo extreme destroys (not literally) the CPU if you ever want to remove it?

 

I use a mix of AS5 MX4 and Liquid Ultra myself, depending on the application.

Whoever has it destroy the CPU is a moron. You can use the blue plastic to peel the whole thing right off. It doesn't bond to the IHS. It just fills in all the holes. You can literally peel it up like tape.

I know how you feel, i live not even 45 minutes away from Performance PCS ( Palm Bay, Florida ), everything I order I either go and pick it up if I need it fast enough or just have it shipped to my house, it always comes next day. The one advantage that FrozenCPU has over Performance PCS, is that they have alot more selection to chose from

Yes, but if you read my post FrozenCPU only sells the 2011 edition and I'd like to get 1150 so I don't have to pay $25 extra to get a 2-pack of Indigo XS (made for socket 115x chips).

Thank you, but that's still a less than optimal solution. Oh well, he may just have to face facts...
